Question

Which of the following is a true statement based on the map shown below? A) The population density of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is highest in the Southeast United States. B) Northern states are not within the range of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. C) Southern states are affected by Zika virus. D) The population size of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is 1.5 million in the United States.

Accepted Answer

The map shows the estimated range of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the United States, and it indicates that these mosquitoes are not found in northern states such as Minnesota, North Dakota, and Maine. Therefore, option B is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because the map does not provide population density data. Option C is incorrect because the map does not show Zika virus distribution. Option D is also incorrect because the map does not quantify the population size of the mosquitoes.
